Welcome to the 14th International Symposium on Preparative and Industrial Chromatography and Allied Techniques, which will take place in Brussels from September 30 to October 3, 2012.

Since 26 years, the SPICA Symposia gather key players involved in downstream processing for the Life Science industry. The goal is to share the latest innovations, create and develop new research axes and deploy the purification techniques for the industrial development of molecules with increasing complexity and constraints.

The Life Science industry has strong expectations, which are at the heart of the strategic plan: the development and implementation of sustainable processes.

Highlighted symposium topic: Sustainable Purification Processes: Trends and Needs from Discovery to Production. A range of other strong thematics will also be discussed and developed in depth. A careful selection of the keynote speakers provides a solid base for the scientific quality and attractiveness of this symposium.

Full programme and workshop topics are available on the symspoum website www.spica2012.org !
